How can I delay an HDMI signal?

[fargo747]

Slightly odd question, I know.

I have just connected two TV's to a Sky box via a Neet splitter and extender system and there's a delay - which you might expect, but here's the rub, it's the TV at the far end which is ahead. The two TV's are within audible distance of each other, so now it's like listening to them in St Paul's. I put the delay in the 'local' end down to the Samsung processing the hell out of the signal compared to the little Sony at the far end.

Is there such a thing as a little box that can delay a signal? I would plug that in the far end and then match the two. Any other ideas (other than turn them both down...)?

Have you tried swapping the cable or the port? Maybe that

Most TV's allow you to delay the sound, as sometimes it's out of sync with the video, but I've not see a video delay!

Get miles of extenders!

Remember the difference between the speed of sound and the speed of light!

Annoyingly it seems to vary from channel to channel. I guess I could change all the settings in the Samsung, but that would be even more annoying. Ah well, guess we'll have to live with it!

That's an interesting report, I have a near identical problem with a group of HD Freeview modulators and brand new Samsung screens. Audio to video delay is all over the place and changes depending on the sky channel that is being modulated and your watching.

How new are the screens and are they totally uptodate in firmware?

The Samsung is a D8000 and is probably 3 years old. Haven't checked the firmware - good point. Can't remember what model the Sony is, but I'm about to stick a W7 in its place as we want something a bit bigger. Will see how that goes.

I am going back to my problem site tomorrow, so if I get anywhere or get some insight, I'll post here.
